v1.5

This is a feature release which includes the following improvements:

• html_fancy overview page can now be viewed locally (through file:///) without needing to specify the -p local_js=1 flag to it. It still fetches resources from the internet, so you still require an internet connection. If you do not want to fetch resources from the internet, use the -p local_js=1 flag.

The following features have been added and bugs have been fixed:

• Support for host inventory patterns (e.g. foo[01:04].bar.com)
• Support for 'vars' and 'children' groups.
• Support passing a directory to the -i param, in which case all the files in
  that directory are interpreted as one big hosts file.
• Support for the use of local jquery files instead of via a CDN. Allows you to
  view the hosts overview in your browser using file://. See README.md for info
  on how to enable it (hint: ansible-cmdb -p local_js=1).
• Add -f/--fact-caching flag for compatibility with fact_caching=jsonfile fact
  dirs (Rowin Andruscavage).
• The search box in the html_fancy template is now automatically focussed.
• Show memory to one decimal to avoid "0g" in low-mem hosts.
• Templates can now receive parameters via the -p option.
• Strip ports from hostnames scanned from the host inventory file.
• Various fixes in the documentation.
• Fixes for Solaris output (memory and disk).
